Answer:

7.85sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

s(t)=16t squared​, where t is time in seconds. The height of a certain tower is 986 feet.

s(t) = 16t²

so when s = 986feet

16t² = 986 feet

t² = 986 /  16

t² = 61.625

t = √61.625

t= 7.85 seconds

Answer: t = 7.85seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height of tower = 986 Feets

Function s(t) = 16t^2

To find the time t 8 in Seconds taken for an object to fall to the ground from the top of the​ building

16t^2 = 986

t^2 = 986/16

t ^2 = 61.625

Take the square root of both sides

t = sqrt(61.625)

t = 7.85seconds

Leto [7]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below.

Consider a model of a train locomotive that has a similarity transformation map of x arrow right 48x from the model to the actual locomotive when answering the question.

If the diameter of the front wheels on the locomotive is 4 feet, what is the diameter of the front wheels on the model? Express the answer in inches.

Answer:

The diameter of front wheel on the model is 1 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let diameter of the front wheel on the model be 'x'.

Actual diameter of front wheel = 4 feet

Now given that ratio model to actual = \frac{x}{48x}= \frac{1}{48}

Now we can say that  ratio model to actual is equal to ratio of model diameter of front wheel to actual diameter of front wheel.

framing in equation form we get;

\frac{x}{4}=\frac{1}{48}\\\\x=\frac{4}{48} = \frac{1}{12} \ ft.

Now we know that;

\frac{1}{12}\ ft = 1 \ in.

Hence The diameter of front wheel on the model is 1 inch.
